Niche.com is best known for crunching the data and compiling lists of best schools across the country and highlighting the top and safest places to live. They also put together some random lists that are a bit off-beat — like their latest list, "Top Party Schools in America." And the University of Alabama is fairly high on the list as the No. 12 "party school" in the U.S., according to the rankings. Only two Alabama schools made the top 100 with Auburn University ranking at No. 57. The list includes a total of 15 Alabama schools.

If you're wondering what are the top 10 party schools in the U.S., here they are from 1 to 10: Tulane University, University of Georgia, Miami University of Ohio, University of Iowa, Florida State University, West Virginia University, University of Texas-Austin, Penn State, Indiana University-Bloomington and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

How did they determine the top party schools in the U.S.? "The 2018 Top Party Schools ranking is based on student reviews and nightlife statistics. Top party colleges have a vibrant and diverse party scene — they offer fun options both on and off campus and students rate their peers as being fun, friendly, and into partying," Niche.com says.
